WE HATE SPORTS
Lupercal:
Well its not the sports that I hate but the stuff surrounding it. I tried out for Hockey at Uni this year and could not deal with all the macho bullshit that seemed to be a constant haze over the players. Like, its not just hockey, its AH YEAH HOCKEY MOTHERFUCKERRR WE'RE MEN YEAH PENIS so I sort of stopped it. I also refuse to go to socials with these guys as they will likely dip their cock in my pint when I'm not looking or something.
I like martial arts but don't really count as sports (although Tae Kwon Do is an olympic sport! All right).
Yeah, just generally the fact that people have gotten trampled to death at football games, and the fact that England suck so much at football yet we pay so much attention to it. The commentators after this world cup said "well, they're just more comfortable in their league teams". Yeah I'm sure they are, they have a prize to work towards and on their shittiest day they still have that £50,000 a week coming in. Whereas England's pride doesn't matter because pssh, thats all hard work or something. Wayne Rooney, the saving grace for England (as was said in April 2010) scored his first goal for 2010 in a Manchester United game. After he played in every match England was in for the world cup. Then throws a hissy fit and now is getting paid £250,000 A WEEK. What does England's second highest paid footballer do with this money? Spends it on prostitutes and cheats on his pregnant wife.
When I think of football I think of twats like Wayne Rooney and instantly remind myself why I hate the sport. Its not even very interesting to watch.
On the other hand, I quite like rugby in terms of watching it, supporting England, playing it in a team also has the wonderful macho-bullshit quality to it.
I like playing sports, I just don't buy into the massive spectacle of it, and some people do and that's fine. Just doesn't sit with me to support people who make, what I feel, is a very poor contribution to society for how much they are paid.

Rizzo:
There's no I in TEAM so I'm not interested.
I hate when I sit down at the pub and it's busy so you share a table and you end up sitting with some musclebound dildo who thinks rugby is the be all and end all. I will not discuss your pig skin kicking, I don't understand it and I don't care. I was happy to discuss rugby with my ex girlfriend's family as they talked about the local games, where it was regular people playing rather than professional athletes who train 6 days a week. As with most things, when corporations become involved it all goes to fuck.
It disgusts me the a full 1/3 of the 6pm news in New Zealand is dedicated to sport. Not even sport in general, mostly rugby. If they included rock climbing, lacrosse or FUCKING ANYTHING OTHER THAN RUGBY I'd be happier.
I'm not anti-sport perse, just anti-corporate.
Plus there's the sexism aspect that really gets to me. When do you ever hear of women's sport on television? Tennis is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Or gymnastics. Even those are really only on at olympic time. Can anyone tell me why women's sport isn't on TV?
David_Dovey:
Canada routinely has women's curling on the CBC in prime-time.
Canada is pretty weird
Inlander:
Nah, they just love watching women sweeping. Those sexist bastards.
